No, I really don't think that's the problem. When I put the chain back on the sprocket, I then tightened the bolt that takes the slack out of the chain. In other words, the chain was tight. Then I thought, perhaps it was too tight, and did the whole deal again, but left a little more slack. It still came off! The drive sprocket on the motor end seems to be fine. It moves freely when the motor is running, and the teeth (cogs?) aren't worn. I would love to keep my head up there to watch what is happening, but I'm afraid of getting hit in the face by the chain.
This morning, I checked the track for any problems, and I saw nothing but a small area where the tracks didn't line up perfectly, so I aligned it.
Any other thoughts, HayZee????
